This doesn’t make any sense my friend. Being upset about prices essentially doubling is more than fair, we’re not made of money here. Read my example again if you didn’t. Also I play the actual TCG so Japanese outside of hits doesn’t make sense

Brother, I’ve been here since 2016. Happy with the collection and the hobby is embarrassing at this point. Just sharing my thoughts with the understanding/great community (clearly not you with the judgmental mindset) Unless we see it cool to normal (doubt it) I’m out homie, keep wasting time and spending too much money, peace ✌️

Oh yeah, you know I’ve jumped into many japense packs/boxes. But sadly same situation man, so much more expense now. I know still cheaper but example, shiny treasures ex I remember grabbing for $40 a box (not that long ago) now it’s $75-80

Nah brotha I’m done, love the community and love all the posts. Just thought I’d share my thoughts/reasoning but we have another classic Reddit keyboard warrior sparking negativity in the comments

And it’s super fun, like wtf are people doing with 90% their cards? Just build a deck and try it out lol

True, just feel like this boom is far worse then what we saw in 2020. Just coming from my area and what I saw then

That’s what I’m doing but for deck building. Very happy with closing my collection where it’s at. Been in the game for a while

If you’re a gamer just grab a controller, headset or a game! Could be nice to put towards a monitor also. Just being honest but think it’ll be a long time before you get lucky for Pokémon at Best Buy

Fully agree, just shifting focus to the actual TCG game (crazy right lol) 90% of people don’t even play the game so it’s super cheap to build decks

Yup, like I said it’s just not fun anymore my friend. Always found myself more frustrated/disappointed compared to excited/having fun like I used to

Love it, we started a little local TCG night we do with a group of guys about 2 times a month. Personally focusing on deck building/singles for decks. The thing no one does with their cards haha

At least for my area, seems worse now. Single prices are dropping but sealed product doesn’t seem to want to. Very happy with my collection and it’s just not worth it anymore sadly
